CARELESS WHISPERS

I HAD TOI HAD TO Music moves and lives inside all of us. Each and every one of us has a personal relationship with it. Think back to all the defi ning moments of your life... They all had a particular song that plays in their background. A soundtrack to your life; or as i would like to call it, your own personal mixtape.

A vidid narration of a path travelled and a career shortlived like a premature ejaculation.
